I recommend browsing in the archives to lurkers and non-lurkers alike. It
may make it easier to start participating once you've read far enough back
in time to see current 'elders' learning to use prefixes properly and
whining in confusion about the tlhIngan Hol. We all started from no
knowledge of the language.

Definitely. If you don't understand something, ASK.

I wouldn't suggest that anyone leave the list just because they weren't
posting. I certainly don't mind if there are a thousand lurkers out there.
The only people I'd suggest leave are the ones who aren't reading this,
because they delete all the messages unread. I was a lurker in the world of
tlhIngan Hol -- not on this list, but aware of the lnaguage, familiar with
the grammar, noticing but not contacting people with tlhIngan Hol in their
signatures ... for at least six years. Eventually something may happen and
the lurkers will open their mouths and start speaking. AND THEN YOU CAN'T
SHUT US UP! :)
